Week 1 and 2 Term 3 2009

Well the term is under way and so is our new topic of study - ' Bridges ' . We have begun the unit by writing a definition of what a bridge is and drawing a bridge on KidPix. These will be on our blog in the coming weeks so look out for them.



Brodie brought in this photo taken when he was little of a swing bridge across the Storm River in South Africa. This lead to an interesting discussion about swing bridges and one we will continue next week as we make a Y chart to collate all the information we collect.


Over the past two weeks we have written narratives - one about teenagers going to the movies and not being able to see as a lady with a rather large hat sat in front in front of them and another about a monkey snatching a banana from a zoo keeper. These will be on the blog over time as the children draw pictures to go with their stories. These stories are delightful and I am sure you will enjoy listening to them.

Its amazing to think that this is the last week of the term. We have continued to be busy finishing off bits and pieces.

On Wednesday we heard that Rebekah and her family had been rescued from their yacht by a French warship. We looked online and read about it and were pleased that she was safe.

On Friday we welcomed Rebakah back to our classroom. We were all so pleased to see her.

Friday was PJ day - with lots of us coming to school in our PJ's. It made getting ready for school really easy.

Here are some of the fish we drew earlier in the term and dragged blue backgrounds for. Next term look out for images of the boats we have just finished.
